Chapter 30 Returning to that Small Home
In the end, I'm back.
The familiar and depressing air poured into Jiang Chen's nostrils again. Taking a slow breath of the turbid air, Jiang Chen looked around at the abandoned vehicles, the cracked road, the broken windows... and the zombies wandering aimlessly.
This is exactly where he left the last time.
Lifting the cage to take a look, the silly little hamster was lying quietly, but it was silent. Jiang Chen put his fingers into the cage and poked at the soft belly. After realizing that it was indeed dead, he sighed.
That pine cone became its last supper.
It seems that carrying people through travel is indeed an unrealistic idea, and Jiang Chen can't help but feel a little lost in his heart.
Along the familiar street, Jiang Chen was careful not to disturb the zombies wandering weakly, and walked towards the villa.
Zombies during the day are not scary, and can even be described as harmless. But at night, even the dead claw, who can walk sideways in the apocalypse, dare not easily walk through the densely populated streets of zombies. Without the restriction of sunlight, those zombies would go crazy as if they had taken medicine, mobilizing the functions of every metamorphic cell in the body to chase living creatures.
The villa was still the same, but the iron gate at the entrance was reinforced with steel wire, which should be Sun Jiao's masterpiece.
Jiang Chen stepped forward and pressed the doorbell. After a while, he heard the sound of running from a distance.
The iron door opened.
A beautiful figure slammed into his chest fiercely, Jiang Chen opened his arms as expected, and embraced the fiery tender body.
The wet touch blocked his lips.
Lip points.
"...You're finally back." Sun Jiao gasped slightly and looked at Jiang Chen resentfully.
"I miss you, baby." Jiang Chen patted Sun Jiao's buttocks, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Come in quickly."
Jiang Chen stepped into the villa, and then Sun Jiao skillfully closed the iron door and pulled down the steel bars to secure it.
Jiang Chen noticed that although nothing could be seen from the outside, the interior of the villa had undergone some renovations. The original beautiful grove has been completely cut down, and it seems to be used to make a watchtower on the side of the wall. A row of wire loops and underdrains were also installed along the wall. The main building of the villa has also undergone various renovations, and many windows are marked with steel bars.
"What did you do to my villa?" Jiang Chen smiled wryly. This Nima is still called a villa, and it has become a bunker, okay?
"It will be safer this way." Sun Jiao said proudly, "The original villa was basically undefended, so I collected some materials from nearby and strengthened it."
"I think if you don't take precautions, no one will pay attention here." Jiang Chen couldn't help but complain.
"But this is our home, isn't it? We can't keep pretending that no one is here. Survivors who pass by will always notice it, try to explore it, and then spread the word..."
"I see, you did the right thing, thank you." Jiang Chen also realized the seriousness of the problem, he used to think a little too simple.
In this apocalypse, zombies are not natural barriers, and those things during the day are like decorations. The survivors are by no means all kind, and it would be better to say that an organization that maintains absolute neutrality like the Sixth Street is already "good" enough in this wasteland.
If someone finds that there are people here, there is food, and they are not fortified, I am afraid that flies will keep coming. No matter how strong Sun Jiao's fighting power is, it is not difficult to defend this place without a single miss.
In the apocalypse, humans are far more terrifying than zombies or xenomorphs.
"But why did you smash those marble statues at the entrance?" Jiang Chen's face was still aching. It used to be a luxurious villa, so don't just toss it into the bird-like image it is now.
"It takes up too much space. And there is no need for cover inside the wall, that would prevent me from killing the intruder." Sun Jiao said with reason.
Speaking of which...isn't that true? Jiang Chen sighed, accepting this reason.
The security door of the main building of the villa was opened, and Jiang Chen and Sun Jiao returned home together.
"Where's Yao Yao?"
"That little girl must have missed you too," Sun Jiao glanced at Jiang Chen with a complicated look, and then stretched out his hand to straighten his collar, "Go and take a look at her room, she has been the most experienced They're all tinkering with gadgets, I hope I can help you out."
"Well." Jiang Chen nodded and walked towards Yao Yaodi's room.

Gently pushing open the wooden door, there was a creaking sound. The room was very dark. If it weren't for the even breathing, Jiang Chen would almost think there was no one here.
Is this little girl still in bed?
A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's mouth. He knew very well that this docile little loli had low blood pressure due to malnutrition, and was in a state of confusion almost all morning.
There was a faint metallic smell in the room, which made Jiang Chen wrinkle his nose. The delicate wooden table seemed to once belonged to an equally lovely girl, but now it was full of electronic devices. There are holographic computers that Jiang Chen bought for Yao Yao, as well as some unknown gadgets. There is also a sci-fi silicon touchpad in the corner of the table, but the lower body is completely broken, and the exposed wire ends are burned on another unknown circuit board.
Although curious, Jiang Chen didn't have the habit of tampering with other people's things, so he didn't touch them at will.
Moving his foot slightly, Jiang Chen felt as if he had kicked something. Bending down to pick it up, it seems to be a programming book with various technical terms written on it, and the footer of the book is stuffed with various small notes. This reminded Jiang Chen of the notes of various scholars he had seen in college.
Although he passed the second level of computer, Jiang Chen couldn't understand what was written in the book at all.
Seems like a more concise computer language?
At this moment, Yao Yaozheng was wrapped in a quilt and shrunk into a ball, sleeping very sweetly, like a little squirrel. The slightly pouting mouth made people think of the delicious fudge, and the small hand that was shrunk in front of the chest and gently tugged at the quilt made it hard not to have a strong protective desire to hug her tightly.
It seems that this little girl has a good meal... Jiang Chen squatted down, and gently patted her fluffy hair. Although it was very dark, judging from the gradually fuller cheeks, Yao Yao's body has improved a lot this month.
Hearing the soft and happy snoring, Jiang Chen really couldn't bear to wake her up.
But I really want to hug her!
"Yao Yao, Yao Yao..." Jiang Chen called softly.
"Um... Gugu, hehe..." Yao Yao rubbed his eyes in a daze, sat up from the bed, stared at Jiang Chen with sleepy eyes, and then smiled stupidly.
Pounced on Jiang Chen's body like a sloth, Yao Yao hooked Jiang Chen's neck, and then squinted his eyes while hanging like that.
"Hey... Brother, please don't leave, Yao Yao worked very hard... Very hard... Now he's amazing..." He was chomping on words of unknown meaning, and Yao Yao's breathing began to be even again. up.
This little girl... shouldn't take me as a pillow. Jiang Chen scratched his head with a wry smile, ready to wake her up.
But at this moment, Jiang Chen saw the dark circles on Yao Yao Qingxiu's face through the dim light from the gap in the curtains.
Thinking of Yao Yao's babbling just now, Jiang Chen's nose felt a little sore.
"Yao Yao is very good... Let's talk for a while." Jiang Chen hugged Yao Yao who was asleep, put him back on the soft bed, and gently covered him with a quilt.
Leaning down, Jiang Chen gently kissed the tender forehead.
As if dreaming of a good thing, Yao Yao's little nose moved, a happy smile appeared on his face, and the corners of his slightly raised mouth were decorated with a touch of shiny silver threads...
Jiang Chen left the room and slowly closed the door for her.

"You ate her?" Watching Jiang Chen go downstairs, Sun Jiao cast a playful glance at Jiang Chen.
"Am I a beast or something?" Jiang Chen rolled his eyes at Sun Jiao and sat opposite her.
"...Yao Yao she," Sun Jiao opened her mouth a little hesitantly, but then she made up her mind and continued, "Yao Yao she... cares about you very much. She has been While learning about computers, she even begged me to help her bring back some professional books from the city library. I don't know if it's the right thing to do...she works hard almost all day and night. Maybe... She wants you to notice her, it's her way of expressing her feelings."
Sun Jiao tried her best to adjust her words so that this sentence could convey the correct meaning.
"I...thank you."
"Just thank you?"
"...Not just, you are all my family." Jiang Chen spoke with determination, looking at Sun Jiao seriously.
Sun Jiao suddenly climbed onto the table, grabbed Jiang Chen's collar, and then laughed suddenly under Jiang Chen's astonished gaze.
"Do you mean to eat her too?"
"My brother's love for my sister is just, I said, what do you want..." Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and looked at Sun Jiao with a suspicious face. Sometimes her unexpected movements really made him unable to understand.
"Oh? I can see that she doesn't just like your sister and brother."
Jiang Chen was silent.
"Don't want to say something?"
"Aren't you going to let me go first?"
"No, what if you suddenly disappear again." Sun Jiao's eyes suddenly burst into tears, which made Jiang Chen a little flustered. He didn't understand why this savage girl who had always been careless was crying.
"I won't disappear suddenly, baby," Jiang Chen said with a wry smile, reaching out to wrap his arms around Sun Jiao's waist, but Sun Jiao blocked him.
"Who knows...you, there is a woman over there, right?" Sun Jiao stared at Jiang Chen's eyes, causing Jiang Chen to be stunned for a while.
"Uh, you...why do you ask that?" Jiang Chen's eyes were a little dodgy.
"Really?" However, Sun Jiao didn't give Jiang Chen a chance to escape.
"Yes!" Jiang Chen took a deep breath and explained it honestly.
After preparing to be trained by this savage woman, Jiang Chen felt the hand holding his collar loosen.
"...You are an honest guy." Sun Jiao didn't get off the table, but just lay on her stomach, staring into Jiang Chen's eyes.
Did she laugh? Why do you laugh?
There was a strange expression on Jiang Chen's face, "I'm generally honest with my women."
Because there is no need to lie.
"In other words, I'm fortunate enough to be your woman." Sun Jiao said teasingly.
"If you don't want to... I won't force it." Jiang Chen said with a complicated expression.
"..." The expression on Sun Jiao's face was also very complicated, she bit her lower lip lightly, and Sun Jiao said, "Of course I would, but leaving me here to play with other women by myself will make me feel a little bit more. Big fire."
"...Sorry," Jiang Chen lowered his head silently, but after a while he raised his head and looked into Sun Jiao's eyes seriously, "Although I know it's useless to say this, but...if there is anything that can help I'll do anything to make it up to you."
"Really? Everything?" Sun Jiao licked Jiang Chen's face with an aggressive look.
"Um."
"Come on then."
"Um?"
The moment Jiang Chen was stunned, Sun Jiao had already moved. It was as sensitive as a wild cat, so that Jiang Chen had little chance to resist, and was tied to the chair by the rope that he got from nowhere.
Sun Jiao stepped on the armrest beside Jiang Chen with one foot. This image was too visual in Jiang Chen's mind.
"I...I said,"
"Oh? What are you trying to say?" Sun Jiao approached as if she hadn't heard. Only then did Jiang Chen notice that Sun Jiao seemed to have changed her clothes. Just as he was going upstairs for a while, she had changed the light sportswear into a shirt with special charm.
(Black) Silk, this is the first time Jiang Chen has seen Sun Jiao wear it.
Speaking of which, the last days are full of clothing stores that do not need money, and it seems that there is no need to consider the issue of clothes at all. Jiang Chen suddenly thought of the clothes he bought for the two girls on Taobao, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"No, nothing, I seem to have seen this rope somewhere." Jiang Chen said with a wry smile.
"Haha, then I'll let you know," Sun Jiao smirked mischievously, her red lips almost touching Jiang Chen's ear, "...Sister is amazing."
